STOP SOPA/PIPA
shermana:
"The Obama Administration on Saturday took a stance on two pieces of anti-online piracy legislation moving through Congress — the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate —- saying it would not support the bills as currently written, handing the biggest victory yet to a growing chorus of critics of the bills."
I found that on the internet about the Obama Administration speaking out about the SOPA and PIPA. In the article is also states that the Obama Administration will not support something that reduces freedom of expression

No. The entire context of my post was written against it. But thats what the original SOPA would do, essentially it could be twisted to let the big companies step on the little guys. But as shermana said above, things have changed. SOPA has been watered down a lot recently, but that doesn't mean its still not a threat.
Also, if you look on YouTube, two of the most watched videos for today are both stolen copyrighted material. One is even directly recorded off of someone's television... if you look at it from the perspective of someone's content that was stolen, I can see why they'd be mad. Even so, that bill was outrageously blunt.

u know what i think? i think that they only passed this bill to takes our eyes off something else they are doing, so we dont find out about it

I believe Obama, along with his other people, are doing all that they can to minimize SOPA and make it less of a threat. The Obama aministration is totally against PIPA and will not let it be passed the way it is. PIPA is basically designed to not allow us use foreign websites that i think are copyrighted. Don't forget that in order for these bills to be passed, Obama has to agree and sign them a law. I believe that Obama is thinking kind of what we are thinking.
